Lion - Snow leopard - Lion

[Ormo1]

Hey guys.

I got lion on my macbook pro atm. but i would like to explore the oppetuneties in the snow leopard due to the removal of the powerPC in the lion. so my question is is there anyway that i can go from my lion operating system to snow leopard WITH the possibility of going back to lion if snow leopard sucks. i have an external device (extern harddrive) in my possetion if that help my couse.

thanks

If your Mac came with Lion, then you're stuck with Lion. You can't install a previous OS.

Not really true... It can be done, but it isn't super easy.

Its as easy as installing any other Mac OS. you just need the proper install disks.

No, you just hold down option on boot and choose the lion recovery disk...reinstall from there.
